Abstract:

Our Phase I work resulted in a software prototype for MFD page organization, a technique for translating MFD page organizations into graph partitioning problems, and a genetic algorithm for carrying out the graph partitioning. We apply our system to a scenario taken from the Comanche attack helicopter task analysis. The system out-performs other published algorithms for graph partitioning.
